PSV vs Groningen Prediction & Betting tips
PSV will play again on Wednesday-evening. In Eindhoven the team of Mark van Bommel faces FC Groningen.
PSV Eindhoven:
PSV had one point left against Ajax. Coach Van Bommel’s battle plan in Sunday’s game was clear. PSV speculated on ball loss of the national champion and then quickly switched. In itself this was not a bad idea, only people in practice could rarely make it difficult for Ajax. The way of playing became even more difficult to implement when the visitors took the lead. In the final phase, Donyell Malen, the man in shape, still took care of the 1-1 equalizer. PSV certainly had no right to more than the point.
Two players who have been absent for a long time may make their return to the Eindhoven team on Wednesday. Ryan Thomas is almost ready to play again after a very long rehabilitation period. Ibrahim Afellay may also be usable again. Van Bommel also has other options for rotation. Given the full calendar, some changes in the basic team are obvious.
FC Groningen:
FC Groningen was in a small crisis for last weekend. There was a series of four games without a win, so in the home game against PEC Zwolle there was a great need for a three-point. It would also come. Through two striking shots from a distance – respectively by Ramon Lundqvist and Ajdin Hrustic – Groningen won 2-0 over the visitors from Zwolle, who actually showed nothing at all for ninety minutes.
Midfielder Hrustic has been with the club for several years, but this year seems to have taken a step in his development. Trainer Danny Buijn said after the game that he was bothered by the fans in the stadium who ran out Hrustic after an unsuccessful action. “Then I think: come on, just stand behind the players during the game,” said the Groningen coach. Hrustic, who already scored three times in six games, will probably be in the starting line-up again on Wednesday in Eindhoven.
